Scope
This document establishes qualification and quality requirements for crystalline silicon and gallium arsenide single@ dual@ and triple junction solar cell families for space applications. This includes requirements for solar cell manufacturer quality systems and for characterization of solar cells. Requirements for acceptance testing of lots are not defined in the current version of this document. A solar cell family may be qualified to Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO)@ Low Earth Orbit (LEO) or both under this standard. Tests or characterizations in the standard that do not mention GEO or LEO are@ in any event@ required.
